I just lost a reply on the forums. When I ctrl/alt click I expect that a new tab or window will open. In SUMO this results in loading the home page in the current window.

    STR
    Windows Firefox
    ctrl or alt click on the "Support moz://a" link

    expected
    new tab or window with support home opens

    actual
    support home opened in current tab

Strange. I can reproduce this as well. I don't see anything in the markup that would cause this. I'm wondering if there isn't some event capturing analytics JS doing something wonky.

We'll check it out. Thanks!

Pretty sure this a side effect of our GA implementation [1]. I think I've got a fix queued up:

This has just been deployed to prod and it's working for me. Let us know if you see this again. Thanks for bringing this to our attention :guigs!
